ASU: A Solar University
Spend any time on ASU’s campuses and you’ll be shaded by one of the many solar panel arrays that provide shelter from the heat, as well as renewable energy. Not only is ASU known for sustainable solar infrastructure, our faculty members are leaders in solar research and innovation.
We are paving the way for a bright future.
New breakthrough in hot carrier solar cells
David Ferry’s team has made a breakthrough that can increase the efficiency of solar cells by more than 20%
Layered solar cell technology boosts efficiency, affordability
Zak Holman and Zhengshan Yu are pioneers in new solar cell technology
Seeking solar solutions
Students go abroad in search of machine learning solutions for solar as part of the NSF International Research Experiences for Students program
Solar awards eclipse other universities
ASU receives Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) awards totaling $9.8 million, ranking first among all university recipients
Solar-powered library is transforming global education
SolarSPELL device is providing lessons and health information to remote communities
A bright idea
Fulton Schools electrical engineers help an ASU biologist create a solar net light to save sea turtles and transform the future of sustainable fishing
We are engineering sustainable solutions for today
We’re developing solutions to reduce the impact of climate change, from developing more efficient industrial practices to removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Beating the heat
Fulton Schools researchers are developing coatings to make buildings more efficient, creating high-tech fabrics to keep us cool, and working to understand how to keep people cool as temperatures rise.
Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
ASU researchers have developed “mechanical trees” that pull carbon dioxide from the air, and are collaborating with other universities to develop novel carbon capture methods.
Developing a sun-powered nanotechnology to supply clean water and renewable energy
Christopher Muhich is using quantum chemistry techniques to use harness solar energy a photocatalytic spark to produce a water-disinfecting chemical.
Working to provide clean water for all
Growing up: Vertical farming is sustainable
In a time when grocery stores are struggling to keep shelves full, Zhihao Chen’s vertical farm could sit in the corner of a market parking lot, sending lettuce grown from a completely organic closed system to the shelves in as little as three weeks.
More ways we are increasing efficiency in farming and industry
Planning for sustainable urban life
ASU faculty are leading the way on projects that bring researchers and communities together to forge designs for resilient urban infrastructure and make informed decisions about water use and water supply infrastructure.
